... all slept in the large tent for about 2 hours, until 3 a.m. when we had to wake to up to hike Massada before sunrise. Massada was breathtaking, and although we could not see the sunrise because it was cloudy, it was incredible to have the opportunity ...

... made the „table" and had one of my most wonderful dinners: lebaneh with pita. Then we laid back and waited for the sunrise which came soon. Actually we started walking downwards before in order to avoid the heat. The desert was stunning, the view of ...

... they put in the overhead bins. Apparently, there's also some sort of morning prayers ritual, the strict observance of which must be sunrise. As we were flying east... sun rise was at some point over the mid-Atlantic and various men kept lifting the blinds ...

... I just realized how empty and meaningless my life truly is. Crap. How was that? Did you buy it? No? Damn it. Upon arriving in Eilat I walked up to the hostel where I stayed when I was here last and was informed that it was closed for the night due to the ...

... their oath to the country there. It is quite a hike up, and when I was at Masada ten years ago I climbed up to watch the sunrise. Since then a cable car has been built taking lazy tourists to the top. We took the cable car but I believe it gives you a ...

... day. We ended up hungry at 4am so bought some delicious subs from a street vendor, and head off to Eilat. It was beautiful. We reached the Dead Sea at sunrise, and drove around. Passed Mt Sodom and and Lots Wife. And then we drove. And drove, and drove. ...

... , the judge, the one who will make the final decision. In this vast open desert space a sense of our own insignificance is overwhelming, and we learn to appreciate “that no flesh should glory in his presence”. We travel to Eilat, ...

... over Wadi Rum.  I am a bit disappointed; I love to see broad landscapes and this one promised to be extraordinary at sunrise. Harvey explains how the balloon rises and hot/cool air play against each other.  It is a reminder that every season ...

... on their own instruments.  Everyone generally drifted off around midnight, giving just enough time to wake up at 5am for the sunrise over Saudi Arabian mountains across the Gulf of Arabia. There were probably fewer than 30 guests in total on Sat, the ...

... 2 months.  So I gave myself an extra half hour of sleep, then trekked up as far as the museum and watched the sunrise, perched from the outer railings.  Good enough, and better than the Danes who slept through the whole thing. After breakfast I ...

... , but light enough to pack my stuff and have breakfast. Perfect! The days end early out here, but they start early, too. The sunrise over the Jordan mountains was just as good as the sunset. I started hiking down "my" mountain, back on a track that would ...

... waiting and trying to keep warm from the wind.  It was nothing like the stories of the hoards of people waiting for the sunrise.  As soon as the sun hid behind the nearby mountain, we all raced for the path down.  Most of the group ...

... came early today as we went to sleep at midnight.  We were up at 3am and left the hotel at 3:30am to travel to Masada.  Sunrise here is at 5:30 and we wanted to be at the top of Masada for sunrise.  We arrived at the base of Masada at 4am ...

... time when we arrive at Kibbutz Ein Gedi where we will be spending the next three nights.   I call Zabu, our guide for our sunrise hike up Masada and agree upon meeting at the lobby at 4:40 AM!  He asks if we drink coffee and I say yes, ...

... . Can't you just see us at camel-wrangling? Hopefully, I'll have the pictures to show. Bonnie is not too sure about the camel-riding sunrise-viewing portion of the trip (up at 5 am), and we may have to pass on this. We shall see. Anyways, our next blog ...

... for us...We left our "Uncle Danny" in the dust. After climing the backside of the mountain, we witnessed a spectacular sunrise and walked about the magnificent excavated ruins dating from 2000 years ago.  We eventually descended the mountain's "Snake ...
